> older legacy kit with the original nose gear door close mechanism (not the newer plunger type). 
my guess is even the new kits don't have the plunger..

I never got the std system to work right, but all L4 use the "old" system
and most flying legacy's use the old system... (except mine)

Peter in VT also did a great job rigging his, so its been used by many. I cloned
the plunger I saw on Carsten's desk after Reno last year:

Plunder Pros:

1) its easier to rig.
2) provides more closing force. (Ron B's doors are alittle open in-flight)

Plunder Cons:

1) can you get it??  (its BT. "Before Tim")
2) it hits the strut shaft... (with a Delran pad)
